Connectivity. Enhanced by security.
Connectivity by AES Connect. Security and SD-WAN powered in partnership with Sautech.
AES Connect (AliSom Enterprise Services) is an established Business-to-Business ICT and connectivity provider serving organisations across South Africa.
Established in 2017, AES provides voice, data, connectivity, hardware, digital and IoT solutions to businesses ranging from SMEs to large enterprises, Government Departments, Municipalities and SOEs.

Connect your business. Secure your business.
AES Connect has partnered with Sautech to enhance the security capabilities of its Internet connectivity and networking solutions.
The partnership brings together AES Connect's connectivity expertise with Sautech's cybersecurity, secure networking and SD-WAN capabilities.
Instead of treating Internet connectivity and cybersecurity as two separate services, customers can deploy a solution designed around the complete environment:
One integrated solution designed to keep your business connected, protected and operational.

Multiple connections. One secure network.
Businesses no longer need to depend on a single Internet connection or expensive traditional WAN architecture.
AES Connect can provide the connectivity while Sautech delivers the secure SD-WAN and security layer.
SD-WAN can intelligently utilise fibre, wireless, microwave, LTE or other available Internet connections across your locations.
Intelligent Path Selection
Traffic can automatically use the best available connection based on performance and availability.
Automatic Failover
If the primary connection fails, traffic can automatically move to another available connection.
Application-Aware Routing
Important business applications can be prioritised over less critical traffic.
Multi-Site Connectivity
Securely connect branches, offices, datacentres and remote locations.
Centralised Management
Gain greater visibility and control across the entire network.
Security Built In
With Check Point, advanced cybersecurity and SD-WAN can operate as part of the same security architecture.
The result: better uptime, better performance and significantly better control over how your business connects to the Internet.
Connectivity and security from one accountable partnership
One connectivity partner
AES Connect remains your connectivity provider and primary customer relationship while Sautech adds specialist cybersecurity, networking and SD-WAN capabilities where required.
Security built into connectivity
Security is considered as part of the network design instead of being added afterwards.
Solutions sized to your business
Ubiquiti provides an excellent platform for smaller and growing environments, while Check Point provides advanced enterprise security and SD-WAN for organisations with more demanding requirements.
Better business continuity
Multiple connectivity options, automatic failover and SD-WAN can reduce dependence on any single Internet connection.
Centralised management
Manage and monitor connectivity, networking and security across multiple locations from centralised platforms.
Enterprise cybersecurity
Customers requiring stronger protection gain access to Sautech's cybersecurity expertise and Check Point security technologies.
Scalable
The architecture can grow from a single location to multiple offices, branches and remote sites.
Local expertise
AES Connect's connectivity experience is combined with Sautech's networking and cybersecurity expertise — giving customers access to specialist skills without having to manage multiple unrelated providers.
Additional specialist services through Sautech
Through the partnership with Sautech, AES Connect customers can also gain access to additional specialist services, including:
These services can be incorporated where required to create a broader security and business-continuity solution around the customer's connectivity environment.
Connect. Secure. Protect.
From cost-effective secure connectivity for a small office to enterprise Check Point SD-WAN connecting multiple locations, AES Connect and Sautech can design a solution around your organisation.
